1 THE NEW PUBLIC governance ? Stephen Osborne is to be congratulated for assembling an impressive array of contributors and producing a text which makes a major contribution to the debates about this emerging paradigm.' Robert Pyper Glasgow Caledonian University, UK. This book showcases the best writing on PUBLIC governance , bring- ing together new research in institutional analysis, policy dynamics, and government society relationships. It provides a good balance of conceptual insights and empirical analysis grounded in the large changes evident in advanced countries in recent decades.' Brian Head University of Queensland, Australia This text, edited by Stephen Osborne, may do as much for critical insight to Europe's PUBLIC service delivery as the David Osborne and Ted Gaebler text on Reinventing Government did for the United States in the 1990s in refocusing the PUBLIC sector for improvement.

Despite predictions that new PUBLIC management' would establish itself as the new paradigm of PUBLIC Administration and Management, recent academic research has highlighted concerns about the intra-organizational focus and limitations of this approach. This book represents a comprehensive analysis of the state of the art of PUBLIC management, examining and framing the debate in this important area. The New PUBLIC governance ? sets out to explore this emergent field of research and to present a framework with which to understand it. Divided into five parts, it examines: Theoretical underpinnings of the concept of governance , especially compet- ing perspectives from Europe and the US.
